UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed support for a potential Iran-related agreement during a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, according to a statement from Starmer’s office released on Saturday. Starmer emphasized that any deal must ensure sustainable and lasting peace. The statement added that the United Kingdom is ready to assist in implementing any peace agreement and will work with international partners to ensure its success.

The statement also noted that both leaders agreed on the need to restore free maritime navigation to minimize negative impacts on the global economy. They further committed to maintaining close communication in the future. Earlier, Trump posted on Truth Social that the Iran deal was expected to be signed on Sunday and that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened to all upon signing. He added that the United States would later collect nuclear debris in Iran once the situation stabilizes.

Trump expressed hope that the process would proceed smoothly but warned that the United States had a final option if necessary.
